Chapter 95: Farm Days

After the feast at the bottom of the pot dispersed, the excitement of Cui'er's family continued. Seeing that the sun was still outside, Cui'er took the big girl to clean up the dishes, those delicious and edible dishes had already been taken home by the familiar women who came to the banquet, and the rest of the vegetable soup was folded into the swill bucket by Cui'er, ready to be used when feeding the pigs later.

"Cui'er, I'll go around the mountain, you can keep the dishes and wash them when I come back." Lian Qingshan looked at Cui'er, who was busy like a little bee, and said with a smile. His face still had a slight flush from drinking, but his expression was very clear.

"What are you going up the hill for?" Cui'er put the dishes into the big basin, scooped up the scoop of water and poured it into the basin, and looked at Lian Qingshan's eyes shining with a firewood knife to go out, and couldn't help but wonder.

"I didn't have much firewood at home, so I went up the mountain to chop some firewood, and made two traps when I was fine before, to see if there was any prey." Even Qingshan's mood was so good, when he was at the wine table today, people who were about the same age as the head of the village, even much older than him, were envious of his family for building a new house and marrying a good wife like Cui'er.

"You've just finished drinking, you have to be a little more careful, don't you have a confused head?" Cui'er saw that Lian Qingshan was about to go out in a hurry, and hurriedly walked out, afraid that Lian Qingshan was still drunk and in danger of going up the mountain.

"I didn't drink much, it's fine!" Lian Qingshan waved at Cui'er with a smile, opened the door and walked out.

Cui'er looked at Lian Qingshan's vigorous footsteps, not like there was something wrong, so she put her mind at ease, picked up the leftovers on the table, and carried a swill bucket to the old yard.

Although several members of Cui'er's family have moved into the new yard, chickens, pigs, and so on are still raised in the old yard. Cui'er's new yard is a brick house with a brick wall, which looks very clean and neat, and I really don't want these pigs and chickens to stain the yard.

But on the other hand, Cui'er thinks that raising pigs and chickens is very useful, not to mention anything else. At least after the eggs are laid by the hens raised by themselves, the eggs used by the big girl and the little tiger do not need to be bought, and if you kill a pig during the New Year, the meat will be frozen. At least you can eat until the beginning of spring.

Cui'er thought about raising chickens and pigs, but walked fast, after entering the old yard, went straight to the backyard of the old yard, and before she reached the pigsty, she heard the three piglets in the pigsty humming and chirping.

Cui'er listened to the sound of the piglet's chirping, and her heart was very funny, and her mouth was aroused, and she tapped the wooden bucket with the swill with the scoop in her hand.

When the three piglets heard Cui'er's call, they immediately became energetic. One by one, they flicked their tails desperately to the arch of the pig food trough, and the fat, pink, tender and scrambling appearance made Cui'er couldn't help but smile.

After Cui'er finished feeding the pigs, she cleaned up the rotten vegetables and weeds in the vegetable garden, and chopped them up on the cutting board for chopping chicken food. I added some bran skin or something, mixed it, and added ingredients to the chicken food trough.

Suddenly, in the chicken pen, two adult old hens rushed over, stood on the chicken trough, and clucked. Cui'er's family has been raising chickens for several months, and the yellow velvet chicks before. The fluff has long faded, and they have grown very strong, looking like adult chickens, but they definitely don't look strong as these two old hens, and the movements of these two old hens are obviously the leaders of the chicken pen.

Earlier, when the old yard was yellow. Two of the sixty chickens in Cui'er's family were trampled, and the remaining fifty-eight chickens had grown up smoothly, and when they were ready to burn the bottom of the pot a few days ago, they saw that the roosters had almost grown. Cui'er asked Lian Qingshan to catch three little roosters and kill the stew, and the taste made the people in the village who came to the banquet full of praise.

Cui'er's house burned the bottom of the pot, although it cost a tael of silver to buy meat or something, but also received a lot of gifts, Cui'er counted, just a knife and a knife of strip meat, I received more than ten catties, as well as old hens and eggs, there are two old hens, and there are thirty eggs, in general, their own family still earned.

The ten catties of meat and the fish sent, Cui'er left three or four catties, and the rest was used up at the banquet, but the old hen Cui'er was reluctant to kill like this.

The old hens are raised by the countrymen, and when they are sent to Cui'er's house, they are just tied with straw rope to their paws and wings, and Cui'er sees that the meat and chicken in the back kitchen are enough, and in the morning she unties the old hen's arms and throws them into the chicken pen.

In less than a day, these two old hens were able to take their own half-grown chickens to eat? This was beyond Cui'er's expectations. After feeding the chickens, Cui'er was worried that there would be no one to take care of the two children in the new yard, so she went back to the new yard with the bucket.

"Cui'er, you're back!" When Cui'er entered the new courtyard, Lian Qingshan was sitting in the yard with something, and the big girl and the little tiger were hiding behind Lian Qingshan and looking at his hands.

"Came back, the chickens and pigs were fed...... What are you doing here? Cui'er was startled when she saw the blood on Lian Qingshan's hand, and when she saw the gray rabbit in his hand that had been half skinned, she knew what Lian Qingshan was doing.

"When I just chopped wood, I saw two rabbits fall from the trap, it is estimated that it has been a long time, and they are already out of gas, so I brought it back and peeled the skin, and we ate the rabbit meat." Lian Qingshan said with a smile, the big girl and the little tiger were lying on Lian Qingshan's back, nodding very expectantly.

"Okay, you have cleaned up this rabbit, I will salt it, and we will make rabbit meat to eat in the next two days." Cui'er looked at the excited little faces of the two children, and felt that eating a rabbit was no big deal, so she took the opportunity to say.

"Great, there's rabbit meat to eat!" Xiaohu slapped his face happily and jumped in the yard.

"By the way, is there a way to deal with this rabbit skin? When it's cold, make some jackets for the kids. Cui'er gently touched Xiaohu's forehead, and when she saw the gray but very soft rabbit skin, her heart moved, and she said to Lian Qingshan.

"No problem, I'll nitrate the skin, I'll take off the rabbit skin and hang it first, and after two days to save a little more, I'll make clothes for our whole family." Lian Qingshan grinned, obviously very complacent about his versatility.

There was laughter and laughter in the yard, and even Qingshan cleaned up the rabbits. helped Cui'er make dishes again, and when all the things were cleaned up, Cui'er suddenly thought of how to sleep at night.

"Girl, will you take your brother to live in the Westinghouse at night?" When he said this. Cui'er was still a little blushing, she and Lian Qingshan didn't know what to think at the time, and they wanted to put the two children in the West House.

Cui'er looked at the little tiger who was already a little sleepy, leaning on the kang head little by little, with a cute blush on her little white face, and she couldn't swallow what she just said.

"Mother, why do you ask that?" Just when Cui'er wanted to regret and not let Da Niu and Xiaohu go to the Westinghouse, Da Niu raised her head and asked Cui'er with some doubts. "Didn't we all say that I would take Xiaohu to Westinghouse?"

"Huh...... Yes......" Cui'er looked at the big girl with a natural look, and her face couldn't help but be hot, "Are you willing to go to Westinghouse?" ”

"Happy, what's not to be happy about?" The big chick blinked. asked innocently, "The bedding in Westinghouse is what we usually use, and it's sunny and fun, why don't you like it?" ”

"It's okay, just be happy." Cui'er can say anything more now, smiled and gently touched the girl's head, and said to the girl. "The girl has grown up, take good care of her brother at night, if anything happens, call her mother, and her mother will pass."

"Okay, mother, don't worry!" The big girl responded with a smile. Obviously, I was very happy that Cui'er said that she had grown up, and her small breasts were straight, and she couldn't wait to prove to Cui'er that she was really big.

Such a sensible and cute chick.。 Seeing that Cui'er's heart was sour and soft, and her eyes were a little moist.

"Mother, I'll help you clean up the dishes and chopsticks, my mother is busy cooking today, she must be tired!" The big girl smiled slightly at Cui'er, and in her big black and bright eyes, the admiration was so obvious.

"Good, good boy!" Cui'er took the big girl to finish the last bit of work, and then took the big girl to the west house, and laid out the bedding, afraid that Xiaohu would not fall to the ground if he didn't sleep at night, Cui'er built a "guardrail" around Xiaohu's little mattress with a quilt, so that even if Xiaohu rolled when he slept, he couldn't turn it over.

The big girl followed Cui'er to run before and after a busy day, and at this time she was already sleepy, Cui'er accompanied her to comb her hair and wash her face, watching her lie on the kang in a daze, and fell asleep after a while.

After settling the big girl, Cui'er turned around and carried Xiaohu to the West House, took off her clothes and put Xiaohu in the quilt, and watched the two children sleep deeply, and then returned to the East House with a slight sourness.

"Cui'er, I just boiled the water, you can come and wash it too." Just now, Lian Qingshan boiled a large pot of hot water in the stove room behind him, poured it into the big basin used for bathing at home, took a good bath, and then mixed the water used for Cui'er's bath, and was looking at Cui'er with burning eyes at the moment.

"Qingshan ......" Cui'er saw Lian Qingshan's wolf seeing the appearance of meat, and her heart jumped wildly, thinking for a while that it was better to let the big girl and Xiaohu go back to the east house to live, and for a while she thought that Lian Qingshan would definitely pull herself to warm up later, and for a while she didn't know what to think, and her mind was chaotic.

"Cui'er, let's go, go wash up." Lian Qingshan looked at Cui'er's shining eyes and the faint flush on her face, and couldn't help but soften her voice and said.

"Hmm......" Cui'er responded like a mosquito, hurriedly took a clean middle coat, and went to the bathroom. After a while, the sound of Suo Suo came, and then the sound of rushing water also came.

Even Qingshan only felt as if a small hand was scratching in his heart, so that his heart couldn't be calm, looking at the faint yellow candle flame, the sound in the bathhouse, which was originally not loud at all, seemed to be able to knock on his heart.

"Qingshan ......" Just when Lian Qingshan was restless, Cui'er entered the East House wearing a middle coat, her hair dripping with water slightly, with the fragrance of honey locusts, which lifted Lian Qingshan's spirits.

"Cui'er ......" Lian Qingshan rushed forward and pulled Cui'er in his arms, because he didn't have the scruples of the child in the house, his movements were extraordinarily enthusiastic, which made Cui'er's body soften all of a sudden.

Under the dim light, a pair of heart-to-heart people are like cross-necked mandarin ducks enjoying the sweet time belonging to two people.
